Haven't had a bad one yet it's a great stop on the way to work. I have looked at the menu one of these days I'll actually get more than just a bagel they have so many options to add to a bagel. The staff is polite and right on it every time.

I only give this place a (1) star rating because I cannot give it any lower. I am in Dubuque this…read moreweekend for a baseball tournament and I will tell you right now you're in the middle of HELL. I initially went to Einstein's Bagels / Caribou Coffee to get a Nova Lox Bagel and a cup of coffee. I was informed that they no longer have fresh bagels everything they have is premade. Naturally I googled bagel shops here in Dubuque and a Big Apple Bagel came up. I've been to these before although not at this location so I really wasn't expecting anything great as it was. I go in and ask the girl for a Lox and Bagel. She replied that she did not know what that was and what I like something else. I actually find this kind of funny because whoever was rolling the bagels really needs to take a class on how to do it correctly because they resembled horseshoes and not a bagel. The manager of the location chuckled and stated they ran Einstein's bagels out of business and I simply replied I surely don't know how because you guys also don't have a clue. If you're looking for a good bagel in Dubuque it just simply does not exist and quite frankly most of the food here is garbage. Go far away and I mean very very far away.

Oh, the Arby's-A isn't available in the app yet but it is in the store and mentioned on the billboard and in their windows.

I usually go with an onion bagel, but since they didn't have onion, I got an Asiago bagel with sausage, egg and cheese and the chive and onion cream cheese. The sandwich was nothing special. I actually wish I had gone more simple with just a toasted bagel and cream cheese. There is plenty of seating. It might be because of the snow outside, but the foot traffic seems calm for peak morning hours on a college campus.
